Is it possible that one day the market for SSNs and other private data will become so saturated that exfiltrating such data becomes unprofitable?
On a slightly more serious note, is anyone aware of a compilation of prices paid for such data? I'm imagining something like a Consumer Price Index [1], but for stolen private data. Maybe far in the dystopian future inflation will make life harder for hackers.
